Patent GB-2533505-A (GB)
Title: Data processing systems
Inventor: JØRN NYSTAD
IPC: G06T1/60
Filed: 2014-08-07
Abstract: A data processing system includes one or more processors 4, 5, 6, 7 operable to initiate atomic memory requests for execution threads and plural data caches 8, 9, 10, 1 1 that are used to store data needed to perform an atomic memory operation when an atomic memory operation is to be performed. When atomic operations are to be performed against a data cache, the results of atomic operations that are to access the same memory location are accumulated in a temporary cache line in the data cache pending the arrival in the cache of the "true" cache line from memory. The accumulated results of the atomic operations stored in the temporary cache line are then combined with the cache line from memory when the cache line arrives in the cache. Individual atomic values can also be reconstructed once the cache line arrives at the cache.

Title: Methods for improving straightness in the vertical plane of retractable screen partitions
Inventor: MICHAEL KORN
IPC: G03B21/58
Filed: 2016-05-10
Abstract: A method of attaching a screen to a split tube member involves using a jig with a half zip having a known configuration of tooth spacing; engaging thereto a half zip, later attached to the screen and/or split tube; then attaching the half zip to the screen or split tube. The method can use the same jig for the screen and split tube, or a different jig with substantially the same configuration. This method allows for the same or substantially the same configuration of half zips, so that the screens and split tubes can be engaged with other screens or split tubes. The structures all comprise a frame with at least one split tube member and a screen. In one embodiment the screen and split tube have half zips for engaging with each other, and the half zips are stretchable to provide the same tooth spacing. In another embodiment the screen has convex and concave sides and the half zips protrude towards the convex side. In another there is a rod which extends at least some distance vertically between two split tubes. There is also a frame which comprises at least one split tube with a handle connected thereto.

Title: Profiling cache replacement
Inventor: CHIH-CHUNG CHANG
IPC: G06F12/121
Filed: 2016-12-08
Abstract: This application is for a way of ensuring that the data currently stored in the cache is the data that is accessed most frequently. It does this by maintaining counters that are associated with pages of data in both the main and cache memories 502. These counters indicate the number of requests to access that particular page. Then at predetermined time intervals it determines whether the number of page requests for a highly-requested page in main memory is greater than the number of requests for a little-requested page in the cache 504. If so, then it will swap the highly-requested page in main memory for the little-requested page in the cache 506. The system further includes a profiler that keeps count of how often pages are being requested in both the main memory and the cache, a mapper that maps an input address to an address in cache or main memory, and a mover that swaps pages between the cache and main memory.

Title: A method for secure peer-to-peer communication on a blockchain
Inventor: CRAIG STEVEN WRIGHT
IPC: G06Q40/02
Filed: 2017-04-10
Abstract: The invention comprise s a computer - implemented method and system for control ling an exchange process, such as a loan, conducted between at least two parties via a blockchain such as the Bitcoi n blockchain. A method according to the invention may comprise the step of generating a first blockchain transaction which includes a redeem script. The redeem script comprises a cryptographic public key associated with an initiating party and metadata w hich includes a hash of an exchange - related document; a redeem address; and an amount of digital currency. A second blockchain transaction is generated and published to the blockchain so as to spend the digital currency to the redeem address. This provid es the advantage that the further transaction will be publically available and thus detectable by other parties once it has been published. The further transaction can provide the information necessary to trigger a response e.g. an offer from another (res ponding) party who publishes their response on the blockchain. Thus, the exchange process can be implemented via a multi - transaction mechanism on the blockchain rather than an alternative medium. The exchange related document may be an invitation (offer/ request) which is stored off - block in a repository such as a Distributed Hash Table (DHT). The invitation may be an invitation to engage in a contract. A smart contract (and associated blockchain transaction) may be formed upon condition that a plurality of participants (e.g. lenders/borrowers) are matched with each other via one or more responses effected via transactions on the blockchain.

Title: Packet classifier
Inventor: MATTHEW IAN RONALD WILLIAMS
IPC: H04L45/74
Filed: 2019-01-25
Abstract: A method to process received data packets. At a packet classifier 101, a first comparison is made of features within the header of a received packet and feature definition data 203/205 that is derived from rule data 104. A data unit is generated from this first comparison that reflects which of the features are absent or present in the header data. A second comparison is then made of this data unit with packet detection data 300 which represents a packet detection rule(s) (PDR) held in rule data 104. If a comparison match is found the packet forwarder 105 may apply action data 310 that is defined by the PDR that was matched. The feature definition data may be a range of source/destination addresses/ports or a DSCP value. The invention may be applied in a User Plane Function (UPF) of a 5G New Radio network. The advantage of the invention is that it may allow the dynamic programming of packet detection rules which enables higher call set-up rates and lower set-up latencies. The generated data unit and PDR that are compared may be created as bit masks.
